 I haven't entered anything at all this year, so I came up with this silly photo of my dog, Pooka in ridiculous, Dollar Store glasses. She is 15 years old and has always been a good sport about me dressing her up while I take a few photos.

I used Topaz B&W and Topaz Adjust mostly to edit the photo. Trying for a cheesy, old time, Sci-fi movie look. Not expecting very much in the way of a good score, but at least I had the courage to enter again.

This made me laugh, very cute and nicely taken, good focus on his nose and the glasses.
